CHAIRMAN’S
REPORT

The Directors have pleasure in 
presenting the results of the company 
which consistently show improvement.

Turnover increased by 5.8% and profit 
from operations increased by 55.6% 
year on year.

Net profit from operations amounted 
to $3.1m or 5.6c per share (2017 - 
$2m or 3.9c per share). The company 
has recognised a deferred tax asset 
resulting from tax timing differences 
on the valuation of inventory for which 
a tax benefit of $2.8m has been taken 
to account. The resulting net profit 
attributable to shareholders amounted 
to $5.9m for the year.

The company’s balance sheet has 
strengthened to show low net cash 
borrowings of $0.15m (2017: $4.8m) 
and a Net Tangible Asset Value of 32c 
per share (2017: 28.1c).

As the partner to many of the 
world’s premier brands, Cellnet has 
continued to consolidate its position 
as the leading distributor for mobility 
accessories in the Australian and 

New Zealand marketplace with strong 
contractual relationships with leading 
Telcos, Consumer Electronic Retailers 
and specialty stores across the region.

Our Category Management approach 
has differentiated Cellnet from its 
competitors and is assisting our 
customers improve their profitability 
and end user offering.

We remain well poised to grow via 
acquisition and the board will continue 
to evaluate opportunities which align 
with the company’s strategy.

A partially franked dividend of 1.25 
cents per share was paid in September 
2017 and the Board has declared an 
unfranked final dividend of 1.25 cents 
per share for the 2018 financial year.

ASPIRATIONS4KIDS IN SPORT

IN NOVEMBER 2017, 
ASPIRATIONS4KIDS IN 
SPORT WELCOMED 
CELLNET AS ITS NEWEST 
CORPORATE PARTNER. 

At A4K our constant goal is to partner 
with organisations that value the 
important role that participation in 
sport can play in improving the lives 
of thousands of Queensland students 
annually. 

Ian Healy

Chair - Aspirations4Kids 
in Sport Ltd

Clearly, Cellnet has a community conscience and share 
our dream to assist more kids and families facing hardship, 
disabilities, chronic illness and remote living issues. This is 
evidenced by the wonderful support shown for A4K fund 
raising initiatives as together we share the hope that no-one 
misses out on playing sport due to unique or extenuating 
circumstances.

Our gratitude for Cellnet’s contributions include corporate 
donations and staff workplace giving, to volunteering time to 
assist A4K with introductions to prospective corporate partners, 
graphic design production and attendance at events towards 
optimising guest experiences. 

Due to these valuable contributions, A4K has been able to 
assist in excess of 150 kids and their families. On a daily basis 
these kids face life challenges with a tenacity and resilience 
you simply can’t teach. A love of sport is their common bond 
and the catalyst for enhancing their lives.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Alan 
Sparks, Brett Perkins and all the Cellnet staff for believing in 
our organisation’s work and assisting A4K in so many valuable 
ways. 

We look forward to continuing this very important association.

Yours In Sport,

Ian Healy

2018 A4K Scholarship Holder Poppy Richards

Poppy faces multiple life 
challenges due to the 
effects of Cerebral Palsy 
(Left Hemiplegia) and 
Periventricular leukomalacia 
(PVL) resulting from premature 
birth and pre-eclampsia during 
her mother’s pregnancy.

A calf surgery due to a 
combination of moderate pain, 
an uneven gait and balance 
issues has added another 
layer of complexity to Poppy’s 
sports’ career, however this is 
somewhat off-set by enhanced 
levels of self-esteem and 
confidence derived from sport 
that affords her the drive to 
progress and keep doing the 
things she loves.

A4K funding has assisted 
Poppy to attend the National 
Schools Cross Country Titles 
in Hobart. In 2018 Poppy was 
awarded an A4K Scholarship, 
which will assist with training 
fees, gear and special 
equipment purchases and 
travel to swimming, running 
and life-saving events.

Poppy dreams of being able 
to mentor other kids with 
disabilities. 

We thank Cellnet for assisting 
A4K to support Poppy and 
other kids like her.

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Cellnet Meet the Crusaders Afternoon

On Thursday 8 February, Cellnet 
created the opportunity for some 
of our A4K rugby recipients to 
meet the champion Canterbury 
Crusaders Rugby team. The 
team were in Brisbane for the 
Global 10s (9th and 10th Feb. 
Suncorp Stadium) and trained 
at the Springfield Hawkes, The 
Lakes Oval, Brisbane prior to the 
tournament.

A4K recipients watched the 
Crusaders train and were lucky 
enough to join in a coaching 
session with other junior players 
from the Springfield Hawks. 

“I had the best time and the 
players were really great, thanks 
to Cellnet for making this 
opportunity possible.” Kelvyn 
Togia South Coast School Sport 
Region 

Celebration of the Games Function 
- presented by Cellnet

In April 2018, the Gold

A4K recipients Paige Leonhardt 
and Kyle Potgeiter. Along with 
800m debutant Joseph Deng, 
Paige competed in their first 
Commonwealth Games. Both 
athletes acquitted themselves 
very well with Paige winning a 
Silver para-medal at the games. 
Cellnet contributed to the day 
taking a table, providing great 
raffle prizes and were the 
presentation partners for the day. 

Proceeds from the function 
supported 35+ A4K families.

- Inaugural Walking with Legends Golf Day

In May 2018, A4K partnered 
with Cystic Fibrosis Queensland 
and presented the Walking 
with Legends Golf Day at the

A big field of 130 players teed 
off in prefect conditions, enjoyed 
a round of golf with sporting 
legends and rounded the day 
out with a beautiful two course 
meal and presentation dinner 

where the Patterson / Hall Cup 
was presented to the inaugural 
winners. Funds from the day 
support both A4K causes and 
CFQs Bounce2Breath program. 
Cellnet offered fantastic support 
for the day taking two teams and 
providing great raffle prizes. This

For the purposes of this report, the term “executive”  
includes the executive directors, senior executives,  
general managers and secretaries of the consolidated  
entity and the term “director” refers to non-executive  
directors only.

The remuneration report is presented under the 
following sections:

1. 

Individual key management personnel disclosures

2.  Remuneration at a glance

3.  Board oversight of remuneration

4.  Non-executive director remuneration arrangements

5.  Executive remuneration arrangements and the link

6.  Executive contractual arrangements

7.  Additional statutory disclosures

2.  Remuneration at a glance

Remuneration levels for key management personnel are 
competitively set to attract and retain appropriately qualified 
and experienced executives. The Board as necessary obtains 
independent advice on the appropriateness of remuneration 
packages of the consolidated entity given trends in 
comparative companies both locally and internationally 
and the objectives of the Company’s remuneration strategy.

Non-Executive Directors receive a fixed fee for their services.

The remuneration structures explained below are designed to 
attract suitably qualified candidates, reward the achievement 
of strategic objectives, and achieve the broader outcome of 
creation of value for shareholders. The remuneration 
structures take into account:

• 

• 

the capability and experience of the key 
management personnel;

the key management personnel’s ability to 
control performance;

• 

 the consolidated entity’s performance including: 

 –

 –

 the consolidated entity’s earnings; and

 the growth in share price and delivering of 
constant returns on shareholder wealth;

• 

the amount of incentives within each key management 
person’s remuneration.

Page 19

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Remuneration Report (audited) continued 

Remuneration packages include a mix of fixed and  
variable remuneration including short and long-term 
performance-based incentives.

3.  Board oversight of remuneration

Remuneration committee

The remuneration committee is responsible for making 
recommendations to the board on the remuneration 
arrangements of directors and executives.

The remuneration committee assesses the appropriateness 
of the nature and amount of remuneration of non-executive 
directors and executives on a periodic basis by reference to 
the relevant employment market conditions, with the overall 
objective of ensuring maximum stakeholder benefit from the 
retention of a high performing director and executive team.

Remuneration strategy

Cellnet Group Limited’s remuneration strategy is designed 
to attract, motivate and retain employees and non-executive 
directors by identifying and rewarding high performers and 
recognising the contribution of each employee to the  
continued growth and success of the consolidated entity.

$10,000 per annum. Non-Executive Directors do not receive 
performance related remuneration. Non-executives may, at 
the discretion of the Remuneration Committee and subject 
to shareholder approval, receive compensation in the form 
of share options. No options were issued to Non-Executive 
Directors during the current or previous financial years.

5.  Executive remuneration arrangements and the link to company 

performance

5.1  Fixed remuneration

Fixed remuneration consists of base remuneration 
(which is calculated on a total cost basis and includes 
any fringe benefits tax charges related to employee 
benefits including motor vehicles) as well as employer 
contributions to superannuation funds. Remuneration 
levels are reviewed annually by the Board.

5.2  Variable remuneration – short term incentive (STI) 

and long term incentive (LTI)

Performance linked remuneration includes both STI 
and LTI and is designed to reward key management 
personnel for meeting or exceeding their financial  
and personal objectives. The STI is an ‘at risk’  
bonus provided in the form of cash.

To this end, key objectives of the Company’s reward framework 
are to ensure that remuneration practices:

5.3  STI bonus

•  are aligned to the consolidated entity’s business strategy;

•  offer competitive remuneration benchmarked against the 

external market;

•  provides strong linkage between the individual and the 
performance and rewards of the consolidated entity.

Remuneration structure

In accordance with best practice corporate governance, the 
structure of non-executive director and executive remuneration 
is separate and distinct.

4.  Non-executive director remuneration arrangements 

Total remuneration for all Non-Executive Directors, last  
voted upon by shareholders at the 1999 AGM, is not to  
exceed $300,000 per annum.

The Chairman’s base fee is $10,000 per annum and  
Non-Executive Directors’ base fees are presently  

The consolidated entity operates an annual STI 
program that applies to executives and awards a 
cash bonus subject to the attainment of clearly 
defined consolidated entity, business unit and 
individual measures. Actual STI payments awarded 
to each executive depends on the extent to which 
specific targets set at the beginning of each 12 
months are met. The targets consist of a number  
of key performance indicators (KPI’s) covering 
financial and non-financial, corporate and individual 
measures of performance. A summary of these 
measures and weightings are set out below.

to one ordinary share.  The exercise price of the 
option is determined by the Board.

At the end of the financial year the Board assesses 
the actual performance of the consolidated entity 
and the individual against their respective financial 
KPI’s set at the beginning of the financial year. 
A percentage of the pre-determined maximum 
amount is only awarded where results are achieved 
of between 100% and 200%. No bonus is awarded 
where performance falls below 100%. Performance 
of beyond 200% is not awarded as it is capped. The 
following table outlines the proportion of the maximum 
STI that was earned and forfeited in relation to the 
2018 financial year.

STI awards for 2017 and 2018 financial years 

For the 2018 financial year, a total payment of 
$208,869 was made which represents 100% of 
the total STI cash bonus previously accrued in that 
period which has vested to executives. For the 2017 
financial year, a total payment of $262,282 was made 
which represented 100% of the total STI cash bonus 
previously accrued in that period which had vested to 
executives.

5.4  LTIs

Executive Share Option Plan

The Board has established an Executive Share  
Option Plan which is designed to provide incentives 
to the Executives of the consolidated entity. The plan 
was approved by shareholders at the Annual General 
Meeting held on 18 December 2007. 

Under the plan the Board has the discretion to  
issue options to Executives as long as the issue  
does not result in the Executive owning or controlling 
the exercise of voting power attached to 5% or more 
of all shares then on issue.  Each option is convertible 

The rules governing the operation of the plan 
may be amended, waived or modified, at any time  
by resolution of the Board provided there is no 
reduction of rights to Executives in the plan. If an 
amendment reduces the rights of Executives in the 
plan, it requires written consent of three-quarters of 
affected Executives.

The plan may be terminated or suspended at  
any time by a resolution of the Board, provided 
the termination or suspension does not materially 
adversely affect the rights of persons holding shares 
issued under the plan at that time. The following table 
summarises the options issued to KMP in the 2018 
financial year. There were no options issued to KMP 
under the plan in the 2017 financial year.

A further 500,000 options are proposed to be granted 
to the Chief Executive Officer on the same terms as 
those granted to executives above, pending approval 
at the company’s next annual general meeting. The 
grant date of these options, where approved, will be 
the date of the AGM.

LTl Plan

The Board has established a Long Term Incentive 
Plan which is designed to provide incentives to the 
Executives of the consolidated entity. The plan was 
approved by shareholders at the Annual General 
Meeting held on 18 December 2007. 

The purpose and rules of the plan are the same as 
the Executive Share Option Plan described above, 
except that there is no prohibition on issuing shares 
if it would result in an Executive owning (legally or 
beneficially) or controlling the exercise of voting  
power attached to 5% or more of all shares then on 
issue.  No shares were issued under the LTI plan 
during the 2018 year (2017: Nil).

Performance Rights Plan

On 24 October 2014 at the Company’s Annual General Meeting, shareholders approved a performance rights plan.

Under this plan, performance rights are issued to key management personnel. The rights deliver ordinary shares to key 
management personnel (at no cost to the executive) where the performance hurdle in relation to those performance rights 
is met.  Following the exercise of a Right, the Company must, within such time as the Board determines, issue or allocate 
to or acquire on market for the person exercising the Right, the number of shares in respect of which the Right has been 
exercised, credited as fully paid. No rights (2017: nil) were issued to KMP under this plan during the current year.  
The following table summarises the performance rights issued in the 2015 financial year held by at any time during the 
2018 financial year:

All vested rights above were exercised during the current financial year.

Original conditions attached to performance rights:
* Rights vest subject to achievement of a total shareholder return (TSR) performance hurdle. Rights will vest if the TSR over 
the performance period, being 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017, has increased by at least 20% per annum on a compounding 
basis. TSR will be calculated by the Board as the difference in share price from $0.25 per share over the performance period, 
plus the value of shares earned from notionally reinvesting dividends received over this period, expressed as a percentage of 
the share price of $0.25. The closing share price is calculated as the volume weighted average sale price of shares on the 
ASX for the 10 trading days up to and including the date that is 10 trading days following the date FY17 audited results are 
released to the market. Employees must remain in service with the company throughout the measurement period for the rights 
to vest.

^ Rights vest subject to achievement of profit before tax (PBT) performance hurdles in respect of each of the 2015, 2016 
and 2017 financial years. Each annual PBT performance hurdle is achieved if actual PBT is equal to or greater than 120% 
of Budgeted PBT. Actual PBT means the profit before tax disclosed in the Company’s audited financial statements for the 
relevant performance period as adjusted in the Board’s discretion for one-off, abnormal and non-recurring items or such 
other matters that the Board considers fair and reasonable. Budgeted PBT means the profit before tax set out in any budget 
approved by the Board from time to time for the relevant performance period. The rights are subject to a cumulative vesting 
condition if a PBT hurdle in one or more periods is not achieved. The last date for measurement is the date which is 30 days 
subsequent to the release of 30 June 2017 audited results to the market. Employees must remain in service with the company 
throughout the measurement period for the rights to vest.

Amendments to the terms of performance rights:
# In connection with the proportional takeover offer announced by the 
Company on 11 November 2016, the Board of Directors resolved, as 
prescribed under the Company’s performance rights plan, to amend the 
terms of performance rights on issue. These amendments, which applied 
from the date the takeover offer was successfully completed (January 
2017), removed performance vesting conditions on all performance rights 
on issue.

Where modifications increase the fair value of the equity instruments 
granted measured immediately before and after the modification, the 
group is required to recognise the incremental fair value as part of the 
remuneration of employees. The incremental fair value granted is the 
difference between the fair value of the modified equity instrument and 
that of the original equity instrument, both estimated as at the date of the 
modification. The fair value of those performance rights with a market-based 
original vesting condition (TSR) at the date the condition was removed was 
equal to the share price of the company on that date, being $0.26.

5.5  STI structure

The Board considers that the above performance-linked remuneration structure is appropriate at this time. It provides 
both short-term focus on operating performance and longer term focus on share price growth.

Improving the performance of the operations was the main focus in setting the financial year 2018 short-term incentive.

5.6  Consequences of performance on shareholder wealth

In considering the consolidated entity’s performance and benefits for shareholder wealth, the Board has regard to the 
following indices in respect of the current financial year and previous financial years.

6.  Executive contractual arrangements

It is the consolidated entity’s policy that service contracts for key management personnel are unlimited in term but capable 
of termination as per the relevant period of notice and that the consolidated entity retains the right to terminate the contract 
immediately, by making payment that is commensurate with pay in lieu of notice.

The service contract outlines the components of remuneration paid to the key management person but does not prescribe  
how remuneration levels are modified year to year.  Remuneration levels are reviewed each year to take into account cost-of-living 
changes, any change in the scope of the role performed by the senior executive and any changes required to meet the principles 
of the remuneration policy.

Standard KMP termination payment provisions apply to all current members of the KMP, including the Chief Executive Officer.  
The standards KMP provisions are as follows:

Financial Report

Page 31

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Notes to the financial statements

1.  Corporate Information

Compliance with IFRS

Cellnet Group Limited (the ‘Company’) is a company limited 
by shares and incorporated in Australia.  The consolidated 
financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 
30 June 2018 comprises the Company and its subsidiaries 
(together referred to as the ‘consolidated entity’). The company 
is a for-profit entity for the purpose or preparing these financial 
statements. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are 
prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company.

The financial report was authorised for issue by the Directors 
on 17th August 2018.  The nature of the operations and 
principal activities of the consolidated entity are described in 
the directors’ report.

2.  Significant accounting policies

(a)  Basis of preparation

The financial report is a general purpose financial 
report, which has been prepared in accordance 
with the requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001, Australian Accounting Standards and other 
authoritative pronouncements of the Australian 
Accounting Standards Board.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars 
and has been prepared on the historical cost basis, 
except for derivative financial instruments which are 
measured at fair value. 

The Company is of a kind referred to in ASIC 
Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ 
Report) Instrument 2016/191 dated 1 April 2016 
and in accordance with that Instrument, amounts in 
the financial report and directors’ report have been 
rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless 
otherwise stated.

The estimates and underlying assumptions 
are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to 
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in 
which the estimate is revised if the revision affects 
only that period or in the period of the revision and 
future periods if the revision affects both current and 
future periods.

The Financial Report complies with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued 
by the International Accounting Standards Board.

(b) New accounting standards and interpretations 

Relevant accounting standards and interpretations 
that have recently been issued or amended but are 
not yet effective and have not been adopted for the 
year are as follows:

(i)  Application of new accounting standards

No new or revised standards considered as 
having a material effect on the consolidated 
entity have become effective for the first time 
in preparing this Financial Report.

(ii)   Accounting standards and interpretations 

issued but not yet effective

Relevant accounting standards and 
interpretations that have recently been issued 
or amended but are not yet effective and have 
not been adopted for the year are as follows:

The Directors anticipate that the adoption 
of these Standards and Interpretations in 
future years may have the following impacts:

Page 32

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18AASB 9 – This revised standard provides 
guidance on the classification and 
measurement of financial assets, amendments 
to the requirements for classification and 
measurement of financial liabilities, and a 
new hedge accounting model to simplify 
hedge accounting requirements and more 
closely align hedge accounting with risk 
management activities. The standard replaces 
AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition 
and Measurement. Under the new standard,  
a financial asset is to be measured at amortised 
cost only if it is held within a business model 
whose objective is to collect contractual cash 
flows and the contractual terms of the asset 
give rise on specified dates to cash flows that 
are payments solely of principal and interest 
(on the principal amount outstanding). All other 
financial assets are to be measured at fair value. 
Changes in the fair value of investments in 
equity securities that are not part of a trading 
activity may be reported directly in equity, but 
upon realisation those accumulated changes 
in value are not recycled to the profit or loss.  
Changes in the fair value of all other financial 
assets carried at fair value are reported in 
the profit or loss. The group has assessed 
that the changes to asset classification and 
measurement will not have a material impact 
on the group’s financial statements, based on 
the current types of financial assets held by 
the group. The new requirements for liabilities 
pertain to liabilities at fair value through profit 
or loss, whereby the portion of the change in 
fair value related to changes in the entity’s own 
credit risk is presented in other comprehensive 
income rather than profit or loss. There will be 
no significant impact on the Group’s accounting 
for financial liabilities, as the Group’s financial 
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are 
not exposed to material risk of change in the 
group’s own credit risk. There will be no impact 
on the Group’s accounting as a result of the 
changes to hedge accounting requirements, 
as the Group does not presently utilise hedge 
accounting.

Financial Report

AASB 15 – This new standard replaces AASB 
118 and AASB 111. It contains a single model 
that applies to contracts with customers and two 
approaches to recognising revenue. The model 
features a contract-based five step analysis of 
transactions to determine whether, how much 
and when revenue is recognised. The Group has 
assessed that the new standard will not have 
any material impact on the timing of recognition 
of its revenues in the initial period of application.

AASB 16 – The new standard will replace 
AASB 117: Leases and introduces a single 
lessee accounting model that will require a 
lessee to recognise right-of-use assets and 
lease liabilities for all leases with a term of 
more than 12 months, unless the underlying 
asset is of low value. Right-of-use assets are 
initially measured at their cost and lease 
liabilities are initially measured on a present 
value basis. Subsequent to initial recognition:

•  Right-of-use assets are accounted for 

on a similar basis to non-financial assets, 
whereby the right-of-use asset is accounted 
for in accordance with a cost model unless 
the underlying asset is accounted for on a 
revaluation basis; and

•  Lease liabilities are accounted for on a 

similar basis as other financial liabilities, 
whereby interest expense is recognised 
in respect of the liability and the carrying 
amount of the liability is reduced to reflect 
lease payments made.

Based on the Group’s current leasing arrangements 
the new standard will note have a material impact 
on the group’s financial statements, as the group 
has no current leases with an expiry date beyond 
12 months of the initial application of the standard. 
This will be re-assessed in future periods based on 
changes to the Group’s leases.

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Notes to the financial statements
2.  Significant accounting policies continued 

(c)  Basis of Consolidation

(ii)  Transactions and balances 

The consolidated financial statements comprise 
the financial statements of Cellnet Group Ltd 
and its subsidiaries (as outlined in note 23) as 
at and for the year ended 30 June each year 
(the consolidated entity). Interests in associates 
are equity accounted and are not part of the 
consolidated entity. Subsidiaries are all those 
entities over which the consolidated entity has 
control. The Group controls an entity where it 
has power over the entity, exposure or rights to 
variable returns from its involvement with the 
entity, and for which it has the ability to use its 
power over the entity to affect the amount of its 
returns.

The financial statements of the subsidiaries 
are prepared for the same reporting period as 
the parent company, using consistent accounting 
policies. In preparing the consolidated financial 
statements, all intercompany balances and 
transactions, income and expenses and profit 
and losses resulting from intra-group transactions 
have been eliminated in full.

Intra-group balances and any unrealised gains 
and losses or income and expenses arising from 
intra-group transactions, are eliminated in 
preparing the consolidated financial statements.

(d) Foreign currency

(i)  Functional and presentation currency

Both the functional and presentation 
currency of Cellnet Group Limited and its 
Australian subsidiaries are Australian dollars ($). 
The functional currencies of the New Zealand 
and Hong Kong subsidiaries are New Zealand 
dollars and United States dollars respectively, 
which are translated to the presentation 
currency as described in (iii) below.

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated 
at the foreign exchange rate ruling at the date of 
the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities 
denominated in foreign currencies at the 
balance date are translated to Australian dollars 
at the foreign exchange rate ruling at reporting 
date. Foreign exchange differences arising on 
translation are recognised in net income.

Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are 
measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign 
currency are translated using the exchange rate 
at the date of the transaction.

(iii) Financial statements of foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations 
are translated to Australian dollars at foreign 
exchange rates ruling at the balance date. 
The revenues and expenses of foreign 
operations are translated to Australian dollars 
at rates approximating the foreign exchange 
rates ruling at the dates of the transactions. 
Foreign exchange differences arising on 
translation are recognised directly in a 
separate component of equity.

(e)  Property, plant and equipment

(i)  Owned assets

Items of property, plant and equipment 
are stated at cost less accumulated 
depreciation (see below) and impairment 
losses (see accounting policy (j)). 

Where parts of an item of property, plant and 
equipment have different useful lives, they are 
accounted for as separate items of property, 
plant and equipment.

(ii)  Leased assets

Leases in terms of which the consolidated entity 
assumes substantially all the risks and rewards 
of ownership are classified as finance leases

Page 34

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Financial Report

(iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is charged to net income on a 
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives 
of each part of an item of property, plant and 
equipment. The estimated useful lives in the 
current and comparative periods are as follows:

Leasehold improvements

Plant and equipment

Leased plant and equipment

3–5 years

2–3 years

3–5 years

The residual value, the useful life and the 
depreciation method applied to an asset 
are reassessed at least annually.

embodied in the specific asset to which it 
relates. All other expenditure is expensed 
as incurred.

(iv)  Amortisation

Amortisation is charged to net income on 
a straight-line basis over the estimated useful 
lives of intangible assets unless such lives are 
indefinite. Goodwill and intangible assets with 
an indefinite useful life are systematically tested 
for impairment at each balance date. Other 
intangible assets are amortised from the date 
they are available for use over their estimated 
useful lives.

(iv) Derecognition

(g)  Trade and other receivables

An item of property, plant and equipment is 
derecognised upon disposal or when no further 
future economic benefits are expected from its 
use or disposal.

(f)  Intangible assets 

(i)  Goodwill - Business combinations

Goodwill acquired in a business combination 
is initially measured at cost of the business 
combination being the excess of the 
consideration transferred over the fair value 
of the identifiable net assets acquired and 
liabilities assumed. After initial recognition, 
goodwill is measured at cost less any 
accumulated impairment losses.

(ii)  Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets that are acquired by 
the consolidated entity are stated at cost less 
accumulated amortisation (see below) and 
impairment losses (see accounting policy (j)). 
The Group’s other intangible assets represent 
software assets purchased by the entity or 
developed by a third party.

(iii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure on capitalised 
intangible assets is capitalised only when 
it increases the future economic benefits 

Trade, loans and other receivables are stated 
at their amortised cost less impairment losses. 
Collectability of trade receivables is reviewed on 
an ongoing basis at a customer level. Individual 
debts that are known to be uncollectable are 
written off when identified. An impairment 
provision is recognised when there is objective 
evidence that the consolidated entity will not be 
able to collect the receivable. Debts which are 
aged greater than 120 days or more are considered 
as objective evidence of impairment and a provision 
of 80% is recognised. For any debts that are passed 
onto the consolidated entity’s solicitors for collection 
a provision of 100% is recognised.

(h) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost 
and net realisable value. Net realisable value  
is the estimated selling price in the ordinary 
course of business, less the estimated costs 
of completion and selling expenses. Cost is 
calculated using the average cost method and 
includes direct and allocated costs incurred in 
acquiring the inventories and bringing them to 
their present location and condition. A provision 
is recognised when there is objective evidence 
that the consolidated entity will not be able to 
sell the inventory at normal reseller pricing.

Page 35

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Notes to the financial statements
2.  Significant accounting policies continued 

(i)  Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents in the statement of 
financial position comprise of cash at bank and 
in hand and short term deposits with a maturity 
of 60 days or less that are readily convertible to 
known amounts of cash and which are subject 
to insignificant risks of change in values.

(j)  Impairment

The carrying amounts of the consolidated entity’s 
assets, other than inventories (see accounting 
policy (h)), trade and other receivables (see 
accounting policy (g)) and deferred tax assets 
(see accounting policy (r)), are reviewed at each 
balance date to determine whether there is any 
indication of impairment. If any such indication 
exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is 
estimated (see accounting policy (j) (i)). 

For goodwill, intangible assets that have an 
indefinite useful life and intangible assets that 
are not yet available for use, the recoverable 
amount is estimated at each balance date. 

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the 
carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating 
unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment 
losses are recognised in net income.

Impairment losses recognised in respect of 
cash-generating units are allocated first to 
reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill 
allocated to cash-generating units (group of 
units) and then, to reduce the carrying amount 
of the other assets in the unit (group of units) 
on a pro-rata basis.

(i)  Calculation of recoverable amount

The recoverable amount of assets (apart from 
receivables, inventory, and deferred tax) is the 
greater of their fair value less costs to sell and 
value in use. In assessing value in use, the 
estimated future cash flows are discounted to 
their present value using a pre-tax discount rate 
that reflects current market assessments of the 
time value of money and the risks specific to the 
asset. For an asset that does not generate largely 
independent cash inflows, the recoverable 

amount is determined for the cash-generating 
unit to which the asset relates.

Impairment losses, other than in respect 
of goodwill, are reversed when there is an 
indication that the impairment loss may no 
longer exist and there has been a change in 
the estimate used to determine the recoverable 
amount. An impairment loss in respect of 
goodwill is not reversed.

An impairment loss is reversed only to the 
extent that the asset’s carrying amount does 
not exceed the carrying amount that would 
have been determined, net of depreciation 
or amortisation, if no impairment loss had 
been recognised.

(k)  Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental 
costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares 
or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of 
tax, from the proceeds.

(l)  Interest-bearing loans and borrowings

Interest-bearing borrowings are recognised 
initially at fair value of the consideration received 
less related transaction costs. Subsequent to initial 
recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated 
at amortised cost with any difference between cost 
and redemption value being recognised in net 
income over the period of the borrowings on an 
effective interest basis.

(m) Provisions and employee leave benefits

(i)  Provisions 

Provisions are recognised when the 
consolidated entity has a present obligation 
(legal or constructive) as a result of a past 
event, it is probable that an outflow of resources 
embodying economic benefits will be required 
to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate 
can be made of the amount of the obligation.

When the consolidated entity expects some or 
all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example 
under an insurance contract, the reimbursement 
is recognised as a separate asset but only when 

Page 36

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Financial Report

service leave benefits described in note 2(m)(ii). 
Expenses for non-accumulating sick leave are 
recognised when the leave is taken and 
are measured at the rates paid or payable.

(n) Share based payment transactions

The consolidated entity provides incentives 
to KMP in the form of share based payments. 
There are currently share based payment plans 
in place for the KMP. The cost of share based 
payments with KMP is measured by reference 
to the fair value of the equity instrument at the 
date at which they are granted (refer note 20 
for further details).

(o)  Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at their amortised 
cost. Trade payables are non-interest bearing and are 
normally settled on average between 30 day and 45 
day terms. They represent liabilities for goods and 
services provided to the consolidated entity prior to 
the end of the financial year that are unpaid and 
arise when the consolidated entity becomes obliged 
to make future payments in respect of the purchase 
of these goods and services.

(p) Revenue 

Goods sold and services rendered

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised in 
net income when the significant risks and rewards 
of ownership have been transferred to the customer. 
This transfer generally occurs when the goods 
are delivered to the customer. Revenue from the 
provision of warehousing services to external parties 
is recognised as the service is provided. No revenue 
is recognised if there are significant uncertainties 
regarding recovery of the consideration due, the 
costs incurred or to be incurred cannot be measured 
reliably, there is a risk of return of goods or there is 
continuing managerial involvement with the goods.

Interest income is recognised in net income as 
it accrues, using the effective interest method. 
Dividend income is recognised in net income on 
the date the entity’s right to receive payments is 
established.

Page 37

the reimbursement is virtually certain. 
The expense relating to any provision 
is presented in net income net of any 
reimbursement.

Provisions are measured at the present 
value of management’s best estimate of 
the expenditure required to settle the 
present obligation at the balance date 
using a discounted cash flow methodology. 
The risks specific to the provision are factored 
into the cash flows and as such a risk-free 
government bond rate relative to the expected 
life of the provision is used as a discount rate. 
If the effect of the time value of money is 
material, provisions are discounted using a 
current pre-tax rate that reflects the time value 
of money and the risks specific to the liability.

(ii)  Long-term service benefits

The consolidated entity’s net obligation in 
respect of long-term service benefits is the 
amount of future benefit that employees have 
earned in return for their service in the current 
and prior periods. The obligation is calculated 
using expected future increases in wage and 
salary rates including related on-costs and 
expected settlement dates, and is discounted 
using the rates attached to high quality 
corporate bonds at the balance date which 
have maturity dates approximating the terms 
of the consolidated entity’s obligations.

(iii) Wages, salaries, annual leave and sick leave

Liabilities for employee benefits for wages, 
salaries and annual leave that are expected 
to be wholly settled within 12 months of the 
reporting date represent present obligations 
resulting from employees’ services provided 
to reporting date, and are calculated using 
undiscounted amounts based on remuneration 
wage and salary rates that the consolidated 
entity expects to pay as at reporting date 
including related on-costs, such as worker’s 
remuneration insurance and payroll tax. 
Amounts not expected to be wholly settled 
within 12 months are carried at a net present 
value determined in the same manner as long 

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Notes to the financial statements
2.  Significant accounting policies continued 

(q) Leases

(i)  Operating lease payments

Payments made under operating leases 
are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-
line basis over the term of the lease. Lease 
incentives received are recognised in net 
income as an integral part of the total lease 
expense and spread over the lease term.

(ii)  Finance leases

Finance leases, which transfer to the 
consolidated entity substantially all the risks 
and benefits incidental to ownership of the 
leased item are capitalised at the inception 
of the lease at fair value of the leased asset or, 
if lower, at the present value of the minimum 
lease payments. Minimum lease payments are 
apportioned between the finance charge and the 
reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance 
charge is allocated to each period during the 
lease term so as to produce a constant periodic 
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the 
liability. Finance charges are recognised as an 
expense in net income.

(r)  Income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current 
and prior periods are measured at the amount 
expected to be recovered from or paid to the 
taxation authorities based on the current period’s 
taxable income. The tax rates and tax laws used 
to compute the amount are those that are enacted 
or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

Deferred tax is provided using the statement 
of financial position method, providing for 
temporary differences between the carrying 
amounts of assets and liabilities for Financial 
Reporting purposes and the amounts used for 
taxation purposes. The following temporary 
differences are not provided for - initial recognition 
of goodwill, the initial recognition of assets or 
liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable 
profit, and differences relating to investments in 
subsidiaries to the extent that they will probably 
not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount 
of deferred tax provided is based on the expected 

Page 38

manner of realisation or settlement of the 
carrying amount of assets and liabilities, 
using tax rates enacted or substantively 
enacted at the balance date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the 
extent that it is probable that future taxable 
profits will be available against which the asset 
can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced 
to the extent that it is no longer probable that 
the related tax benefit will be realised.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities 
are offset only if a legally enforceable right exists 
to set off current tax assets against current tax 
liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities 
relate to the same taxable entity and the same 
taxation authority.

Tax consolidation

The Company and its wholly-owned Australian 
resident subsidiaries have formed a tax-consolidated 
entity with effect from 1 July 2003 and are therefore 
taxed as a single entity from that date. The head 
entity within the tax-consolidated entity is Cellnet 
Group Limited.

Current tax expense/income, deferred tax 
liabilities and deferred tax assets arising from 
temporary differences of the members of the tax-
consolidated entity are recognised in the separate 
financial statements of the members of the tax-
consolidated entity using the ‘separate taxpayer’ 
within the consolidated entity approach. Deferred 
tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are measured 
by reference to the carrying amounts in the separate 
financial statements of each entity and the tax 
values applied under tax consolidation.

Any current tax liabilities (or assets) and deferred 
tax assets arising from unused tax losses or unused 
tax credits of the subsidiaries are assumed by the 
head entity in the tax consolidated entity and are 
recognised as amounts payable / (receivable) to / 
(from) other entities in the tax-consolidated entity 
in conjunction with any tax funding arrangement 
amounts (refer below). Any difference between 
these amounts is recognised by the Company as 
an equity contribution or distribution.

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Financial Report

The Company recognises deferred tax assets 
arising from unused tax losses and unused tax 
credits of the tax-consolidated entity to the extent 
that it is probable that future taxable profits of the 
tax-consolidated entity will be available against 
which the asset can be utilised. Any subsequent 
period adjustments to deferred tax assets arising 
from unused tax losses and unused tax credits as 
a result of revised assessments of the probability of 
recoverability are recognised by the head entity only.

Nature of tax funding arrangements

The head entity, in conjunction with other members 
of the tax-consolidated entity, has entered into a tax 
funding arrangement which sets out the funding 
obligations of members of the tax-consolidated 
entity in respect of tax amounts. The tax funding 
arrangements require payments to / (from) the 
head entity equal to the current tax liability / (asset) 
assumed by the head entity and any tax-loss or tax 
credit related deferred tax asset assumed by the 
head entity, resulting in the head entity recognising 
an inter-entity payable / (receivable) equal in amount 
to the tax liability / (asset) assumed. The inter-entity 
payable / (receivable) is at call.

Contributions to fund the current tax liabilities are 
payable as per the tax funding arrangement and 
reflect the timing of the head entity’s obligation to 
make payments for tax liabilities to the relevant tax 
authorities.

(s)  Goods and services tax

Revenue, expenses and assets are recognised 
net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST), 
except where the amount of GST incurred is not 
recoverable from the taxation authority. In these 
circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of 
the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the 
expense.

Receivables and payables are stated with the 
amount of GST included. The net amount of GST 
recoverable from, or payable to, the relevant taxation 
authority is included as a current asset or liability in 
the statement of financial position.

Cash flows are included in the statement of cash 

flows on a gross basis. The GST components of 
cash flows arising from investing and financing 
activities which are recoverable from, or payable to, 
the relevant taxation authority are classified 
as operating cash flows.

(t)  Accounting estimates and judgements

Management discussed with the Audit 
Committee the development, selection and 
disclosure of the consolidated entity’s critical 
accounting judgements and estimates and the 
application of these policies and estimates. 
The estimates and judgements that have a 
significant risk of causing a material adjustment 
to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
within the next financial year are discussed below.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognised net of incentives and rebates 
offered to customers. Management makes estimates 
of the amount of incentives and rebates outstanding 
as at period end based on customer trading and 
claim history and the terms of underlying contractual 
arrangements. Such estimates involve the use of 
managerial judgement and the actual amount of 
incentives and rebates settled may vary from the 
amounts accrued at balance date.

Impairment losses for trade receivables 
and stock on hand

Note 11 contains information about the 
assumptions and their risk factors relating to 
trade receivable impairment losses and note 
7 discloses the amount of stock that has been 
scrapped throughout the course of the year, or 
has been written down to net realisable value in 
accordance with the policy outlined in note 2 (h).

Share based payments

The consolidated entity measures the cost 
of equity-settled transactions with employees 
by reference to the fair value of the equity 
instruments at the date at which they are 
granted. The fair value is determined by 
management using either a binomial model 
or, where applicable, a Monte Carlo simulation 

Page 39

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Notes to the financial statements
2.  Significant accounting policies continued 

model. The related assumptions are detailed 
in note 20. The accounting estimates and 
assumptions relating to equity-settled share- 
based payments would have no impact on 
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities 
within the next annual reporting period but 
may impact expenses and equity.

Recovery of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible 
temporary differences as management considers 
that it is probable that future taxable profits will 
be available to utilise temporary differences and 
recognised tax losses. Significant judgement is 
required to determine the amount of deferred tax 
assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely 
timing and the level of future taxable profits over the 
next three years together with future tax planning 
strategies. Where the consolidated entity has made 
a taxable loss in the current or preceding year, a 
tax asset is only recognised to the extent that there 
is convincing other evidence that sufficient taxable 
profit will be available against which the recognised 
unused tax losses can be utilised.

(u) Non-current assets held for sale and 

discontinuing operations 

Non-current assets and disposal groups 
classified as held for sale are measured at 
the lower of their carrying amount and fair 
value less costs to sell. Non-current assets and 
disposal groups are classified as held for sale if 
their carrying amounts will be recovered through 
a sale transaction rather than through continuing 
use. This condition is regarded as met only when 
the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal 
group is available for immediate sale in its present 
condition. Management must be committed to 
the sale, which should be expected to qualify for 
recognition as a completed sale within one year 
from the date of classification. In the statement of 
comprehensive income, income and expenses from 
discontinued operations are reported separately 
from income and expenses from continuing 
operations, down to the level of profit after taxes.

Page 40

(v)  Earnings per share 

The consolidated entity presents basic and 
diluted earnings per share (EPS) data for its 
ordinary shares. Basic EPS is calculated by 
dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary 
shareholders of the Company by the weighted 
average number of ordinary shares outstanding 
during the period. Diluted EPS is determined by 
adjusting the profit or loss attributable to ordinary 
shareholders and the weighted average number 
of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of 
all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Potential 
ordinary shares shall be treated as dilutive when 
their conversion to ordinary shares would decrease 
earnings per share or increase loss per share from 
continuing operations.

(w) Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of 
an entity that engages in business activities 
from which it may earn revenues and incur 
expenses (including revenues and expenses 
relating to transactions with other components 
of the same entity), whose operating results 
are regularly reviewed by the entity’s chief 
operating decision maker to make decisions 
about resources to be allocated to the segment 
and assess its performance and for which 
discrete financial information is available.

Operating segments have been identified based 
on the information provided to the chief operating 
decision maker – being the Chief Executive Officer. 
Note 5 contains information on reportable segments.

(x)  Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using 
the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition 
is measured as the aggregate of the consideration 
transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value 
and the amount of any non-controlling interest in 
the acquiree. For each business combination the 
consolidated entity elects whether it measures the 
non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair 
value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s 
identifiable net assets. Acquisition costs incurred are 

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Financial Report

expensed and included in administrative expenses.

When the consolidated entity acquires a 
business, it assesses the financial assets 
and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification 
and designation in accordance with the contractual 
terms, economic circumstances and pertinent 
conditions as at the acquisition date.

If the business combination is achieved in 
stages, the acquisition date fair value of the 
acquirer’s previously held equity interest in 
the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at 
the acquisition date through profit or loss.

(y)  Financial instruments

(i)   Financial assets

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial assets within the scope of 
AASB139 are classified as financial 
assets at fair value through the profit 
or loss, loans and receivables, held to 
maturity investments, available for sale 
financial assets, or as derivatives designated 
as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, 
as appropriate. The consolidated entity 
determines the classification of its financial 
assets at initial recognition.

All financial assets are recognised initially 
at fair value plus transaction costs, except 
in the case of financial assets recorded at fair 
value through the profit or loss. The consolidated 
entity’s financial assets include cash and short 
term deposits, trade and other receivables, 
and derivative financial instruments.

‘loss event’) and that loss event has an 
impact on the estimated future cash flows 
of the financial asset or group of financial 
assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence 
of impairment may include indications that the 
debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing 
significant financial difficulty, default or 
delinquency in interest or principal payments, 
the probability that they will enter bankruptcy 
or other financial reorganisation and when 
observable data indicates that there is a 
measurable decrease in the estimated future 
cash flows, such as changes in arrears or 
economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

(iii) Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities within the scope of 
AASB 139 are classified as financial liabilities 
at fair value through profit or loss, loans and 
borrowings, or as derivatives designated as 
hedging instruments in an effective hedge 
as appropriate. The consolidated entity 
determines the classification of its financial 
liabilities at initial recognition.

All financial liabilities are recognised initially 
at fair values plus, in the case of loans and 
borrowings, directly attributable transaction 
costs. The consolidated entity’s financial 
liabilities include trade and other payables.

Derecognition 

A financial liability is derecognised when 
the obligation under the liability is discharged 
or cancelled or expires.

(ii)  Impairment of financial assets

(iv) Fair value of financial instruments

The consolidated entity assesses, at each 
reporting date, whether there is any objective 
evidence that a financial asset or a group of 
financial assets is impaired. A financial asset 
or a group of financial assets is deemed to 
be impaired if, and only if, there is objective 
evidence of impairment as a result of one 
or more events that has occurred after the 
initial recognition of the asset (an incurred 

The fair value of financial instruments that are 
traded in active markets at each reporting date 
is determined by reference to quoted market 
prices or dealer price quotations, without any 
deductions for transaction costs.

For financial instruments not traded in an 
active market, the fair value is determined 
using appropriate valuation techniques. 

Page 41

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Notes to the financial statements
2.  Significant accounting policies continued 

Such techniques may include:

•  Using recent arm’s length market 

transactions;

•  Using reference to current fair value 

of another instrument that is substantially 
the same; and

•  Applying a discount cash flow analysis 

or other valuation models.

The fair value of forward foreign exchange 
contracts is determined using forward 
exchange rates at the balance sheet date.

Primary responsibility for identification and 
control of financial risks rests with the Audit & 
Risk Committees under the authority of the Board. 
The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing 
each of the risks identified below, including the 
setting of limits for forward currency contracts, credit 
allowances and future cash flow forecast projections.

Interest rate risk

The consolidated entity’s exposure to market interest 
rates relates solely to the consolidated entity’s short-term 
cash deposits and interest bearing loans and borrowings 
as disclosed in note 10 and 17.

3.  Financial risk management objectives

Risk exposures and responses

The consolidated entity manages its exposure to key 
financial risks, including interest and currency risk in 
accordance with the consolidated entity’s financial risk 
management policy. The objective of this policy is to 
support the delivery of the consolidated entity’s financial 
targets whilst protecting future financial security.

The consolidated entity enters into derivative 
transactions, principally forward currency contracts. 
The purpose is to manage the currency risks arising 
from the consolidated entity’s operations. The main 
risks arising from the consolidated entity’s financial 
instruments are interest rate risk, foreign currency 
risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated 
entity uses different methods to measure and manage 
different types of risks to which it is exposed. These 
include monitoring levels of exposure to interest rate 
and foreign exchange risk and assessment of market 
forecasts for interest rate and foreign exchange prices. 
Ageing analysis and monitoring of specific credit 
allowances are undertaken to manage credit risk. 
Liquidity risk is monitored through using future 
rolling cash flow forecasts.

The consolidated entity frequently analyses 
its interest rate exposure. Within this analysis 
consideration is given to potential renewals of 
existing positions, alternative hedging positions 
and the mix of fixed and variable interest rates.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on 
the interest rate risk exposures in existence at 
the reporting date.

At 30 June 2018, if interest rates had moved as 
illustrated in the table below, with all other variables 
held constant, post-tax profit and net assets would 
have been affected as follows:

Page 42

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Foreign currency risk

The consolidated entity is exposed to foreign 
currency risk on sales and purchases that are 
denominated in a currency other than Australian 
dollars. The currencies giving rise to risk are 
primarily U.S. dollars and New Zealand dollars.

The consolidated entity enters into forward foreign 
exchange contracts to hedge certain anticipated 
purchase commitments denominated in foreign 
currencies (principally U.S. dollars). The terms of 
these commitments are no more than 45 days. It is 
the consolidated entity’s policy not to enter into 
forward contracts until a firm commitment is in place.

The consolidated entity has subsidiaries with function 
currencies of New Zealand and United States dollars. 
There are currently no hedges in place to mitigate the 
foreign currency risk for these subsidiaries.

Entering into forward foreign currency exchange 
contracts minimises the risk of sharp fluctuations 
in foreign exchange rates and allows for better cash 
flow management in relation to paying international 
suppliers. At balance date, the consolidated entity 
had the following exposure to US$ foreign currency 
that is not designated as cash flow hedges:

Significant assumptions: - The reasonably possible movement was calculated by 
taking the USD spot rate as at balance date, moving the spot rate by the reasonably 
possible movements and then re-converting the USD into AUD with the ‘new spot 
rate’.  This amount was then tax effected. This methodology reflects the translation 
methodology undertaken by the consolidated entity.

Credit Risk

Credit risk represents the loss that would be 
recognised if counterparties failed to perform as 
contracted. The maximum exposure to credit risk 
on financial assets of the consolidated entity is the 
carrying amount, net of any impairment losses, as 
disclosed in the maturity analysis table below. The 
consolidated entity mitigates this risk by adopting 
procedures whereby it only deals with creditworthy 
customers. Where there is evidence of credit risk, 
an impairment loss is recognised. The consolidated 
entity also insures debtors that have an approved 
credit limit of greater than $5,000 through trade 
credit insurance. Trade receivables that are greater 
than $5,000 are insured up to 90% of the approved 
credit limit, with a $5,000 excess payable per claim.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk arises from the financial liabilities of 
the consolidated entity and the consolidated entity’s 
subsequent ability to meet its obligations to repay its 
financial liabilities as and when they fall due.  
The consolidated entity’s objective is to maintain 
a balance between continuity of at cash funding 
and short-term fixed cash deposits. The consolidated 
entity manages its liquidity risk by monitoring the total 
cash inflows and outflows expected on a daily basis.

4.  Fair Value Measurement

The fair values together with the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities shown in the statement 
of financial position are outlined in the table below. For short term trade receivables and payables with a maturity date of 
less than one year, the carrying amount, as adjusted for any allowances for impairment, is deemed to reflect the fair value.

Outlined below are the judgements and estimates made in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities that are 
recognised and measured at fair value. To provide an indication about the reliability of the inputs used in determining 
fair value, the consolidated entity has classified its assets and liabilities into the three levels prescribed under the 
accounting standards, as follows:

Level 1: 

 The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices 
at the end of the reporting period.

Level 2: 

 The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using 
valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable market data and rely as little as possible 
on entity-specific estimates. That is, all valuation inputs are observable.

Level 3: 

 If one or more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument 
is included in level 3.

The only balance on the consolidated entity’s balance sheet which is measured at fair value are forward foreign 
exchange contracts (refer note 18). The fair value of these financial instruments is determined using forward exchange 
rates at the balance sheet date. Such fair value measurement is included in level 2, as it is based on an observable input.

Identification of reportable segments

The consolidated entity has identified its 
operating segment based on the internal reports 
that are reviewed and used by the Chief Executive 
Officer (the chief operating decision maker) in 
assessing performance and in determining the 
allocation of resources.

The operating segment is identified by 
management based on the manner in which 
products are sold. For the 2017 and 2018 
financial years the consolidated entity’s 
activities related solely to retail sales.

As there is only one segment, segment revenues, 
profit/(loss), assets, and liabilities are consistent 
with those reported in the statement of comprehensive 
income and statement of financial position.

Revenue from external customers by geographical 
location is detailed below. Revenue is attributable 
to geographic location based on the location of the 
customers. The company does not have external 
revenues from external customers that are attributable 
to any foreign country or region other than as shown.

As at 30 June 2018, the Company has a deferred tax 
asset relating to timing differences and tax losses arising 
from prior years totalling $3,844,000 (2017: $930,000). 
Management has recognised deferred tax assets on the 
basis that achievement of profit before tax within the 
period that deferred tax assets are expected to reverse 
(which for inventory is typically the next twelve months) 
is probable.

(d) 

Tax losses

The consolidated entity has gross tax losses, stated in 
the reporting currency of Australian dollars, for which 
no deferred tax asset is recognised on the statement of 
financial position of $7,408,237 (2017: $19,632,980) 
which are available indefinitely for offset against future 
gains subject to meeting the relevant statutory tests.

Allowance for impairment loss

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and 
are generally on 30 day terms. Trade receivables 
are insured through a debtors’ insurance policy, 
as described in note 3. A provision for impairment 
loss is recognised when there is objective evidence 
that an individual trade receivable is impaired and not 
recoverable within the terms of the insurance policy.

whose functional currency is different to the 
presentation currency of the reporting entity.

Page 52

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Financial Report

Reserve for own shares

The reserve for own shares represents the cost of 
shares held by an equity remuneration plan that the 
consolidated entity is required to include in the financial 
report. At 30 June 2018 the consolidated entity held 
18,209 of the Company’s shares (2017: 18,209). This 
reserve will be reversed against share capital when the 
underlying shares are exercised under performance 
rights. No gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss 
on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the 
consolidated entity’s own equity instruments.

Reserve for profit

Profits are transferred to the reserve for profits to 
facilitate future dividend payments in accordance 
with Australian taxation requirements for dividend 
payments to be sourced from profits.

Share based payment reserve

The share based payment reserve is used to 
recognise the value of equity-settled share 
based payments to KMP.

(c) 

Capital management

When managing capital, management’s objective 
is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern 
as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders 
and benefits for other stakeholders. Management also 
aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the 
lowest cost of capital available to the entity.

Management adjusts the capital structure to 
take advantage of favourable costs of capital or 
high returns on assets. As the market is constantly 
changing, management may change the amount of 
dividends to be paid to shareholders, return capital 
to shareholders, or issue new shares.

Management monitors capital through the capital 
adequacy ratio (net assets/total assets). The target 
for the consolidated entity’s capital adequacy ratio is 
between 40% and 60%. The capital adequacy ratios 
based on continuing operations at 30 June 2018 and 
2017 were as follows:

(a) 

Long term incentive plan - performance rights

On 24 October 2014 at the Company’s Annual 
General Meeting, shareholders approved a 
performance share rights plan.

Under this plan, performance rights are issued to 
key management personnel. The rights deliver 
ordinary shares to key management personnel (at no 
cost to the executive) where the performance hurdle 
in relation to those performance rights is met. Following 
the exercise of a Right, the Company must, within such 
time as the Board determines, issue or allocate to or 
acquire on market for the person exercising the Right, 
the number of shares in respect of which the Right 
has been exercised, credited as fully paid.

There were no rights issued under the plan during the 
year ended 30 June 2018.

Details of performance rights granted during the prior year

Last exercise date

5pm on the date which is 30 days subsequent to market release of FY19 results

Exercise conditions

Subject to the Plan Rules, a Performance Right cannot be exercised unless the Board acting reasonably is satisfied 
that the following conditions have been satisfied:
•  The employee remains employed by the company
•  There is no outstanding breach of the terms of engagement with the Company.
•  No notice of termination of engagement has been either been given by the employee or received by the Company.
•  All performance hurdles have been met.

Performance hurdles

334,000 will vest upon meeting a total shareholder return (TSR) performance hurdle
166,000 will vest upon meeting various profit before tax (PBT) performance hurdles

The fair value of the performance rights granted during the year was determined by management using either 
a binomial pricing model (PBT hurdle) or a trinomial lattice pricing model incorporating a Monte-Carlo simulation 
(TSR hurdle), depending on the nature of the associated vesting conditions.

Market conditions, such as the TSR vesting condition, were factored into the initial valuation of the options through 
use of a Monte-Carlo simulation which derives a valuation based on a range of possible outcomes. 

Expected volatility was determined based on historical stock price volatility over a period consistent with the life 
of the performance rights.

The table below summarises the key inputs into the valuation model for each tranche of performance rights granted:

Subsequent variations to the terms of performance rights on issue

In connection with the proportional takeover offer announced by the Company on 11 November 2016, 
the Board of Directors resolved, as prescribed under the Company’s performance rights plan, to amend the terms 
of performance rights on issue. These amendments, which applied from the date the takeover offer was successfully 
completed (January 2017), removed performance vesting conditions and altered the vesting date of all performance 
rights on issue. The following table summarises all performance rights on issue at the date of variation, and the revised

1 Where modifications increase the fair value of the equity instruments granted measured immediately before and after the modification, the group is required to recognise the 
incremental fair value in employee benefits expense, over the remaining vesting period. The incremental fair value granted is the difference between the fair value of the modified equity 
instrument and that of the original equity instrument, both estimated as at the date of the modification. The fair value of those performance rights with a market-based original vesting 
condition (TSR) at the date the condition was removed was equal to the share price of the Company on that date, being $0.26.

Long term incentive plan – Director options

On 19 October 2017 the Board resolved to issue additional new options to key management personnel under the 
company’s long-term incentive plan. The terms of the options were agreed with the employees on 29 November 2017 
(1,900,000 options) and 17 April 2018 (312,500 options), being the accounting grant dates, however options will not 
be issued to employees until 1 July 2018. Details of the options issued are as follows:

Exercise conditions

Subject to the Plan Rules, an option cannot be exercised unless the Board acting reasonably is satisfied 
that the following conditions have been satisfied:
•  The employee remains employed by the company
•  There is no outstanding breach of the terms of engagement with the Company.
•  No notice of termination of engagement has been either been given by the employee or received by the Company.
•  All performance hurdles have been met.

Performance hurdles

Options will vest upon meeting various profit before tax performance hurdles over the financial years 2019 to 2021.

The fair value of the options granted was determined by management using a binomial pricing model. Expected volatility 
was determined based on historical stock price volatility over a period consistent with the life of the performance rights.

Independent Auditor’s Report to the Members of Cellnet Group Limited

Report on the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Cellnet Group Limited (“the Company”) and its controlled entities (“the 
Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 30 June 2018, the consolidated 
statement  of  comprehensive  income,  the  consolidated  statement  of  changes  in  equity  and  the  consolidated 
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes to the financial statements including a summary of significant 
accounting policies, and the directors’ declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, 
including:

a) 

b) 

 giving  a  true  and  fair  view  of  the  Group’s  financial  position  as  at  30  June  2018  and  of  its  financial 
performance for the year then ended; and
 complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards 
are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We 
are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 
2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board’s APES 110 Code of 
Ethics for Professional Accountants “the Code” that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We 
have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the 
directors of the Company, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor’s report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of 
the financial report of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial 
report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Page 63

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Key Audit Matter

How our audit addressed the key audit matter 

Revenue recognition – rebates and incentives  
Refer to note 2(t) Accounting estimates and 
judgements

Revenue  is  recognised  net  of  incentives  and 
rebates  accrued  by  the  group’s  customers 
based  on 
incentive 
sales.  Rebate  and 
arrangements offered by the group are varied 
and  typically  customer  specific.  Due  to  the 
variety  of  contractual  terms  with  customers, 
the  estimation  of 
incentives  and  rebates 
recognised based on sales made during the year 
is considered to be complex. There is a risk that 
revenue  could  be  misstated  due  to  the  level 
of  management  estimation  and  judgement 
required in accounting for these arrangements. 
As such, we considered revenue recognition to 
be a key audit matter.

Our procedures included, amongst others:

•  Obtaining  an  understanding  of  the 
controls over the recognition of rebates 
and incentives, and evaluating the design 
and implementation of those controls;
•  Evaluating  the  appropriateness  of  the 
group’s  revenue  recognition  accounting 
policies  including  compliance  of  these 
with AASB 118 Revenue;

•  Performing substantive analytical review 
procedures  over  rebates  charged  to 
profit  and  loss  for  the  period  based  on 
underlying  contractual  or  constructive 
obligations;

and 

•  Testing  the  accuracy  of  a  sample  of 
settled 
rebates 
the  period  based  on 
throughout 
underlying  contractual  or  constructive 
obligations;

incentives 

•  Reperforming  the  calculation  of  period 
end accruals for outstanding rebates and 
incentives  having  regard  to  contractual 
arrangements 
in  place,  established 
constructive  obligations,  sales  volumes, 
and customer claim history.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included 
in the Group’s annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018, but does not include the financial report and our 
auditor’s report thereon. 

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form 
of assurance conclusion thereon. 

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing 
so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge 
obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 

If,  based  on  the  work  we  have  performed,  we  conclude  that  there  is  a  material  misstatement  of  this  other 
information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Page 64

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18Financial Report

Responsibilities of the Directors for the Financial Report 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair 
view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control  
as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair 
view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a 
going  concern,  disclosing,  as  applicable,  matters  related  to  going  concern  and  using  the  going  concern  basis  of  
accounting  unless  the  directors  either  intend  to  liquidate  the  [Group]  or  to  cease  operations,  or  has  no  realistic 
alternative but to do so. 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report 

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from 
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. 
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance 
with the Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably 
be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of this financial report. 

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and 
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• 

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, 
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and 
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from 
fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, 
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 

•  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are 
appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 
Group’s internal control. 

•  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and 

related disclosures made by the directors. 

•  Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on 
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast 
significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty 
exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report 
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence 
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to 
cease to continue as a going concern. 

•  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and 
whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair 
presentation.

•  Obtain  sufficient  appropriate  audit  evidence  regarding  the  financial  information  of  the  entities  or  business 
activities within the Group to express an opinion on the financial report. We are responsible for the direction, 
supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

Page 65

Cellnet Group Limited and its consolidated entities Annual Report 2017–18We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and 
significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. 

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding 
independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought 
to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. 

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in 
the audit of the financial report of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these 
matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in 
extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the 
adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such 
communication. 

Report on the Remuneration Report

Opinion on the Remuneration Report 

We have audited the Remuneration Report included on pages 8 to 16 of the directors’ report for the year ended 30 
June  2018.  In  our  opinion,  the  Remuneration  Report  of  Cellnet  Group  Limited  for  the  year  ended  30  June  2018 
complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. 

Responsibilities 

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in 
accordance  with  section  300A  of  the  Corporations  Act  2001.  Our  responsibility  is  to  express  an  opinion  on  the 
Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.
